fix(overlay): backdrop exit animation not working

Fixes the transition when closing an overlay with an opaque backdrop appearing broken. The issue comes the fact that when we start animating the backdrop out, we also remove the `backdropClass` which makes the backdrop transparent. We don't need to remove the class, because we'll remove the backdrop from the DOM and clear the reference once the transition is done.
